Yeah, I love this feature being very common in Foss apps. It was one of the driving factors in moving over to Foss apps after I stopped rooting, since I was no longer able to reliably backup appdata anymore through titanium backup and swift backup.
Syncthing comes in nicely for syncing up those backups across different devices too.
Does source material count? I watched Attack on Titan and loved it and when I found out the final season was not the final season I read the Manga. Was disappointed by the last arc and haven't picked the anime back up, but at the same time was glad I got through it quick as opposed having the conclusion dragged out over years and then being disappointed like I was with Game of Thrones after a two year long wait. Which wouldn't have been as disappointing if the wait wasn't so long, and not a week by week slow delivery of disappointment over it being released all in one day for people to get over quickly.
It played a determining factor of whether I would watch House of the Dragon or not. Had the book not been complete I would not have watched the show not wanting to go through another multi year investment into stories and characters with a one to three year long time gap between season ending in disappointment.
I thought it was good, and the book it is based on is actually complete unlike A Song of Ice and Fire. And the book is good too, so I think it's worth getting into.
Sometimes there's some elements that really shows the potential and brilliance that is interesting enough to keep pushing forward. So while it might not hit the point of must see TV right away, going in with the knowledge that it hits its stride in season X helps keep things in perspective. When I'm informed of something like that I'm willing to put up with the slow burn if the pay off is to be great, and there's at least some redeeming qualities about the show until then.
I didn't really get captivated by The Wire until season 3. It had some really memorable moments, but it was a show I had to force myself through until season 3. Especially season 2, since the dock workers didn't catch my interest.
I think these days either being into PC gaming, streaming, video editing, etc is what provides the motivation to become tech literate with how lot of people these days may not own a device that runs a desktop OS and either uses a phone or console for gaming. Otherwise, being in an ecosystem that just hands people everything by design makes even folder navigation something that can be confusing for new generations as it was for boomers.
Yep, and Connect for Lemmy on Android has a really wonderful setting where you can browse other instances without an account and view communities that are local to it. Apps make it easier to handle accounts too now. Liftoff has been the best in that area.
I think that was Linus being an awkward nerd. I think Louis also mentiond Linus does things differently from him where he did a lot of retakes, which Louis doesn't really do. So Linus probably came off more awkward and weird probably having to cut that down and do more one shots being a guest and all. He's better speaker now than back then. And he's obviously out of his element compared to Louis here, so adding to the awkwardness.
Not really. These aren't monetized sites, but just individuals inviting guests to use their instance over self hosting their own, and there's other instances people can move to.
Each instance is better seen as individual forums than a reddit type centralized site. Some forums allows cross account logins, and some you have to create another account. And defederation doesn't cause that instance to cease to exist like banning a community or subreddit does.
Hilarious comment chain, but does show the need for disabling inbox notifications. Probably went in that long because each wanting to leave the last word after being notified of a response and being caught in a loop for a while.
Yeah, because of the revenue and investment source focus of the study what I found interesting is that two people who work at the same place and earns the same salary could lead to the one who invests the money becoming the higher polluter according to the study. Even though the other person is the stereotypical polluter eating meat, mortgage on a huge house, and driving huge cars in contrast to the more minimalistic lifestyle of the other person being the stereotypical green individual who doesn't eat meat and opts for public transport and a modest home.
Like this study is formulated in a way where the numbers are more appropriate for industry analysis than individual household analysis. Data is set in a way that it could be said it's better in the long run to drive suvs than it is to invest, or high polluting companies pay more livable wages. Or if you have million dollars it's less damaging to the environment in the long run to spend that money buying Suvs for your neighbors over investing it with the risk of the assets increasing in valuation leading to bigger polluter stats.
I don't have a Twitter account but I use rss through nitter. It's useful depending on the account like if you just want to be updated on the progress of some video game mod for instance, which can take years to complete. So it's useful for project updates over manually going to like nexusmods or moddb.
As for why people use Twitter. That's a easy one. It's a good platform for self promotion and advertising. It's less a platform for discussions, and more useful tool for getting exposure. It's why Mastodon is not appealing as Twitter to individuals who use it, since it's not for ideological reasons that they use something like Twitter but how many eyeballs they can get to view their content.
It could be due to lack of notification controls and people just being done with the conversation and not wanting to end up in and endless back and forth.
I don't know how Twitter is with those tools, but reddit let you disable inbox replies for threads and comments. But, if there's not proper notification controls then I can see why people just block if they are tired of engaging. Particularly if the individual is active on every thing they tweet, but they are tired of seeing them and being drawn into another argument.
I put an edit later saying I could understand need for Reddit style blocking with how one on one Twitter is. It's been a direct source for harrasment with it being a less pseudonym based social media where people don't remember each other and see just comments.
Twitter is a social media where account holders stand out as individuals, so great for promotion but also easy direct line to harassment that has led to people like voice actors shutting down their account. So I'd say muting is not enough because of the type of social media it is.
